简介

With the Huawei Mate 10 launch right around the corner, we thought this would be a good time to demolish inspect its predecessor, the Huawei Mate 9, released in November 2016. Join us for a closer look inside this phablet, and let's see if we can get a foretaste of the Huawei Mate 10.

The cold, grey finish on our Huawei Mate 9 gives us chills as we start the teardown.

On the backside, we spy (or get spied by) the second-generation Leica Dual Camera. Huawei says that it "renders images in unprecedented detail." At the moment it's beating us in this little staring contest, but we'll have the last laugh when we dig it out for inspection.

The fingerprint sensor lives on the rear of the phablet, right below the camera. Huawei's lab tests say it's 20% faster when compared to the sensor on the Mate 8.

Before we commence with disassembly, we line up the Mate 9 next to its closest sibling, the Huawei 9 Plus—which is only slightly smaller, with 0.4 fewer inches on the display diagonal. We tend to prefer the more contoured (and modern looking?) back of the Mate 9.

The motherboard removal is a piece of cake. Finally we can check out the chipset of the Mate 9!

But before getting to the chips, we want to take a look at the Mate's two cameras (well, three to be exact)—starting with the 2nd generation Leica Dual Camera!

The camera is comprised of two single lenses: one with a 12 MP RGB sensor, and the other with a 20 MP monochrome sensor. The RGB sensor captures vivid colours, while the monochrome sensor picks out the finer details.

Today's teardown tip is: don't stop 'til you get enough loudspeaker. This one supports the earpiece speaker in the display for a full audiovisual experience—when it's not on the teardown table, anyway.
